are you using linux?
I was solving this a couple of years back. APT didn't have the latest .cmake files for the images or ttf or sound library, can't remember. I found some on some github page somewhere and just added it manuall and then it started working
my CMakeLists I think also had to be updated, though I don't remember which part was it
find_package(SDL2 REQUIRED)
include_directories(${SDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${SDL2_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIR} ${SDL2_TTF_INCLUDE_DIR})
... bunch of stuff
and then very last line:
target_link_libraries(project_name ${SDL2_LIBRARIES} -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_ttf)
it's doable
Hats off to this lady .... I would have just flipped the machine
I fucking cannot stand CMake. I hate this stupid fucking piece of software. I've been trying for 3 fucking days to get SDL2 to link just once and I cannot. It doesn't work in the slightest.
Every time I look for help I find a Stack Overflow post from 5 years ago about someone having the exact same problem and all of the responses are "This function is deprecated, use this instead"
THAT DOESNT SOLVE MY FUCKING ISSUE
WHY DOES CMAKE DEPRECATE THINGS EVERY 1.5 YEARS
THIS ACTUALLY MAKES ME WANT TO SWITCH TO INTERPRETED LANGUAGES I CANNOT STAND BUILD SYSTEMS
SURELY IT CANT BE THAT HARD
WE HAVE OPERATING SYSTEMS, AERODYNAMIC SIMULATIONS, AND A GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK BUT WE CANT FUCKING PASS COMMANDS TO GCC PROPERLY?????
